It takes a very open mind to read Boys of the Dead. Let's just get out of the way that this manga is full of triggering/taboo topics like rape, necrophilia, abuse, and more. That being said, I enjoyed these short stories! They were interesting, had plot twists (as much as the plot of a one-shot can be twisted) and were just sickening! Some of the scenes made me retch, and for a horror manga, I consider that a plus. The only reason this isn't rated higher is because the stories were, well, shallow. But for a collection of one-shots, I'm not surprised. The characters aren't well developedand the world building is minimal at best, but that didn't stop it from being a good read. Sometimes being thrown head first into a world and the characters living in it is the best way to experience a story, and it seems that was best for Boys of the Dead. For fans of all things vile and downright disgusting, I really recommend this. It's a quick read, but it'll stick.
A truck pulls into a sleepy roadside diner. In it a pair of young men argue over something before stepping into the restaurant for some grub and some assistance. Apparently their car is having engine trouble and they need a new car battery. The cook offers his used battery and hands one of them the keys to his car before he starts preparing a pair of chili dogs. While he is over the grill, he is told a tale of chaos, violence and disorder perpetuated by undying people(?)... (Source: Denpa)
